Jose Valverde, RP, Detroit Tigers. This is one of my least favorite closers in all of fantasy baseball because he always leaves you on the edge of your seat every time he comes out of the bullpen, and too often for my liking you end up throwing the remote across the room because he blows the save. Valverde spent some time on the… 
Fighting Chance Fantasy Sports is back!!!! We took a little break to celebrate the holidays but it is time to start focusing on baseball. That's right, it is snowing like crazy here in New York but it is time to start taking a look at the Boys of Summer and who you should pick in your draft which still might be months… 
Francisco Liriano won again in his second start since coming back from the minors. And although he hasn't been near the dominant pitcher we saw two years ago, he has been more than an effective starter. Liriano lasted 5.2 innings, allowed three runs, walked two and struck out five. It isn't the dominating outings he had at AAA, but I still think that… 
Boy, I hope all of you who drafted Justin Verlander were able to stay patient with him, but I bet better than 50% of you already have traded him off and got less than he is worth. Let the kicking yourself in the ass begin now! The Tigers ace was great again on Sunday as he was able to win his… Takashi Saito
Saito has been diagnosed with an Ulnar Collateral Ligament sprain as I feared. He is out to the end of September at the earliest and I think he won’t be effective even if he does come back this year. This is one of…

Uggla has said that he probably won’t return until Thursday July…

Starting on Saturday June 14th, we are going to be having a change in structure at least on a demo basis. Instead of this Beyond the Boxscore article every night, we will be making a post for each news item and posting them as they become relevant. I am very interested to get all of your feedback either by email (love my emailers!) or you can post a comment…

Bad news for Alfonso Soriano owners, he left tonight's game after being struck in the hand by a Jeff Bennett pitch. X-Rays revealed Soriano broke his left index finger, it… Reds’ rookie Johnny Cueto threw his fourth straight game in which he allowed three runs or less. A guy who made so much noise in the beginning of the fantasy season is now flying under the radar a bit I think. He was sent packing from a bunch of fantasy teams in early May, and if that is the case in your league, do you have anyone expendable? If…
